Just move your king two spaces, right or left depending on which side you want to castle. The rook will automatically be moved.

Note: in the analysis board, the automatic moving of the rook does not take place.

I just love it when people make sure to check the FAQ before posting questions...if you missed the sarcasm then your mother must have dropped you on your head as a baby...

Remeber there are rules to castling,

The king or rook couldn't have been moved,

The space inbetween them must be empty

and the King can't pass through check!

An expert asked us this question 4 days ago, yickes seems like lots of people forget about that one.
